I have long enjoyed most of the post of Nigel Isom and enjoy him most when he is giving clarifications on different rulings. BUT...to think that a moderator should delete a negative because its subject matter happens to be about reffing and not about a paticular ref in MY OPINION is wrong. I particularly enjoyed the advise from your ole favorite (gutwrench1) for officials to check their ego at the door. I think most coaches would AGREE that their hands are basically tied, and short of being ejected there is really nothing they can do about below average reffing!!! It is my JUDGEMENT that a ref should be reveiwed for ejecting a coach and his actions should go before a board of 5 COACHES to determine if his actions were justified or if he was just being arrogant and thin-skinned. I HAVE SEEN IT BOTH WAYS MANY TIMES. If found to be justified, the school dist. of the ejected coach in question should take the appropiate measures according to their policy on a coaches behaivor. If found to be thin-skinned then the ref should have to be re-evaluated according to his past history record on ejecting coaches. The ref in question should not be permitted to ref for a certain time period in which the 5 COACH panel would decide how long that time should be. A ref can actually cost a coach his job AND THAT MY FREIND, IS 100% WRONG. In my OPINION that is way too much power. If a ref faced the same accountability as a coach would, I beleive they would be a little more reserved in pulling the trigger to eject a coach. There are many issues we should all be able to discuss in an open forum with civility and keep and an open mind that everyone has an OPINION, whether it's right or wrong.
